1.
General requirement measurement of moisture content The moisture content is determined by measuring instruments measuring the electrical conductivity. Other equivalent measurement methods for the determination of the moisture content can be applied. Measurement of exhaust parameters
1.1
The measurements are to be carried out at the measuring opening in the core of the exhaust gas flow. If a firing system has a plurality of measuring openings, the measurements are to be carried out at each measuring opening.
1.2
Before the measurements, the functional capability of the measuring instruments must be checked. The manufacturer's instructions contained in the operating instructions must be taken into account.
1.3
The measurements shall be carried out in the undisturbed continuous operating state of the combustion plants at nominal heat output, with the highest adjustable heat output, in such a way that the results are representative and in the case of comparable combustion plants and operating conditions are comparable.
1.4
In order to assess the operating state, the pressure difference between exhaust gas and ambient air and the temperature of the exhaust gas are to be measured. The result of the temperature measurement according to point 3.4.1 can be used. The temperature of the heat transfer medium in or behind the heat generator, which is indicated by the operating measuring devices, shall be recorded. In the case of combustion plants with multi-stage or steplessly controlled burners, the power set during the measurement is to be recorded.
1.5
The measurement programme must always be carried out completely. It should not be canceled if a single measurement is negative.
2.
Measurements of combustion plants for solid fuels
2.1
In order to meet the requirements laid down in point 1.3, the measurements shall be carried out at a boiler temperature of at least 60 degrees Celsius. In the case of hand-loaded combustion plants, the measurements shall also commence with the measurements five minutes after the largest amount of fuel specified by the manufacturer in the operating instructions has been applied to a layer of gluttony sufficient for ignition. .
2.2
The emissions are to be determined at the same time as the oxygen content in the exhaust gas as a quarter-hourly average. The emissions shall be determined by means of a measuring device which is tested for suitability. The measured emissions are according to the relationship
EB = 21-O2B xEM
21-O2
to the reference oxygen content. It means:
EB = Emissions related to the reference oxygen content
EM = emissions measured
O2B = Reference oxygen content in volume percent
O2 = Volume content of oxygen in the dry exhaust gas.
2.3
The result of the measurements shall be determined after conversion to the standard condition and the reference oxygen content of the exhaust gas with one decimal place more than the numerical value of the defined emission limit value. It is to be rounded in accordance with point 4.5.1 of DIN 1333, edition February 1992. The emission limit value shall be complied with if the measured value minus the measurement uncertainty does not exceed it.
2.4
For measurements in the partial load range in accordance with Article 25 (2), the following shall be taken as follows:
2.4.1
In the case of combustion plants without combustion air blower, it is necessary to measure in the first five minutes when the combustion air flap is closed and in the remaining ten minutes.
2.4.2
In the case of combustion plants with unregulated combustion air blower (on/off control), it is necessary to measure five minutes in the case of a running and ten minutes when the blower is switched off.
2.4.3
In combustion plants with controlled combustion air blower (speed control, step control, air flow control by means of throttle disc, orifice plate or flap, etc.). The same shall be measured for 15 minutes with reduced combustion air intake.
3.
Measurements on oil and gas combustion plants
3.1
In order to comply with the requirements of point 1.3, two minutes after the burner has been switched on and in the case of oil combustion plants with vaporisation burners at the earliest two minutes shall be used for oil combustion plants with atomization burners and in gas combustion plants at the earliest two minutes. minutes after the nominal thermal power has been set with the measurements. In the case of hot water heating systems, the boiler water temperature should be at least 60 degrees Celsius at the beginning of the measurements. This does not apply to hot water heating systems, whose boilers are operated as intended at temperatures below 60 degrees Celsius (condensing boilers, low-temperature boilers with sliding control).
3.2
The determination of the carbon black number is to be carried out visually in accordance with the method of DIN 51402, Part 1, edition October 1986. Three individual measurements shall be made. [0050] A further individual measurement is to be carried out in each case when the filter paper which is acted upon has been noticeably moist by condensate formation or has a non-uniform degree of blackening. From the individual measurements the arithmetic mean is to be formed. The result, rounded up to the next whole number, is in accordance with this Regulation if the specified number of soot is not exceeded.
3.3
The test of the exhaust gas for the presence of oil derivatives must be carried out on the basis of the filter papers which are subject to the determination of the carbon black. The filter papers which are acted upon are first to be examined with the naked eye on oil derivatives. If a discoloration is found, the filter is to be discarded for the determination of the carbon black. If a clear decision is not possible, a flow agent test according to DIN 51402, part 2, March 1979, must be carried out according to the determination of the carbon black. The requirements of this Regulation shall be satisfied if any of the three filter samples of oil derivatives are not detected.
3.4
Determination of exhaust gas losses
3.4.1
The oxygen content of the exhaust gas as well as the exhaust gas temperature must be determined quasi-continuously as a mean value over a period of 30 seconds at the same time in the same period. The temperature of the combustion air is measured in the vicinity of the intake opening of the heat generator, in the case of room-air-independent combustion plants at a suitable point in the supply tube. The exhaust gas loss is made from the mean values of the quasi-continuous combustion air. Measurement of the exhaust gas temperature and oxygen content as well as the measured values for oxygen content and temperature of the combustion air are calculated according to the following formula:
qA = (tA-tL) • ( A + B )
21-O2, A
It means:
qA = Exhaust Gas Loss
tA = Exhaust gas temperature in degrees Celsius
tL = Combustion air temperature in degrees Celsius
